Into the Peatlands by Robin A Crawford

A reflective and wide-ranging exploration of an organic material that has played a key part in Scottish life for thousands of years.

'Fascinating. . makes you yearn for a sip of golden whisky whose barley malt has been smoked over a rich, peaty fire’ 

* Daily Mail *

'Gives a real sense of the surprising cultural importance of peat'

* Scottish Field *

'Injected with enthusiasm and almost lyrical prose. For peat's sake go and read this for yourself!'

* Dundee Courier *

Robin A. Crawford was born in Glasgow. His degree is in fine art and has in his time catalogued the print collection at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow and lectured on Art History at the University of Edinburgh. For the past 25 years he has been a bookseller and bookshop manager.
